It costs us mon.y to sack theifi but we believe that J. N. HARPER Ism, but an opportunity to wealth at the same time. Offsetting Labor Shortage In view of the faot that farm labor Ip scarce and high, every effort should be beut. towards securing maximum yields per acre, wjth fertilizer, which is one of the best ways to conserve man power. Unfortunately, no‘industry has been more directly affected by the war than thh fertilizer industry. The govern ment is commandeering materials im portant to this industry for the pur- phse of manufacturing munitions pf war and hence has greatly reduced the possible tonnage to be used in fer tilizers. In other words, while the nation is calling for the largest pos- -aihle crop yields, there is, at the same time, a great demand for gun powder. Some, one has aptly said, "Plants and cannons eat the samh food.” Of course, under present' conditions, the cannons must be fed first. There is a considerable shortage of fertilizer ingredients, and the prices of these ingredients are corresponding ly high. Fertilizers Relatively Cheaper In consequence of high prices of ma | terials, due to their scarcity, and be cause of Klgher labor and transporta- , tion costs, fertilizers will be higher 1 this spring than ever before. | While the prices, of fertilizers have advanced, fortunately for the farmer, the prices of crops have advanced still higher, so that fertilizers are relative ly cheaper than betpre the war. A j bale of cot,ton "with its seed will buy more fertilizer today than ever before. The same is true of a bushel corn; a bushel of wheat; a bushel of pea nuts; a bushel of potatoes,*etc. Why Fertilizers Are Scarce The causes of the shortage c , -tM izer materials may be summari-- follows: . Previous to the war, most of , potash came from Germany. The pot ash flow on the market is produced largely in this country, hut it'is far short of the demands. This Amerjcan- rnade potash, lnuveVer, is just as val uable as the potash salts that were formerly obtajned from Germany. Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the fact that there is a shortage of sulf nhuric aerd—a .necessary compound in the manufacture of acid phosphate. Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py rites, from which mosr'of it is made, has been eomidfc from Spain and ships are not now available with wliioh to | i transport it. Tli.e, fertilizer manufacturers have been compelled to turn to the domes tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac turing plants to the production of sul phuric acid from' brimstone obtained ; - from - Lou Ffan.-r and Texas. • The gov ernment is requiring uf the .fertilizer manufacturers sulphuric acid in large amounts-to be used in the manufacture of explosives. • Then. too. iliyro is considerable dif ficulty in obtaining supplies of rocK phosphate, because of the transporta tion shortage. The supply of nitrates has also been curtailed because large amounts of sul phate of ammonia are being taken for refrigeration* purposes, and the manu- -faMUTb of munitions, Cojton_.seed ineal, a valuable source of nitrogen, is V being used more and more for feeding live stock. Tankage, another splendid source of nitrogen, is also being used for the sam purpose; consequently cot-' ton seed meal and tankage are high in prtep. , -. • A i Nitrate of soda is more expensive at the T'hile- mines, and shipping rHtes- ht\ve increased enormously, and muni tion requirements are heavy. * ,The fertilizer manufacturers find it hard to secure bags for shipping, since there is a tremendous shortage of bur lap. Thus It can be easily seen that it will be very difficult to obtain necessary' fertilizer materials, and the farmer * must take due notice and act accord ingly if he would make sure of getting his plant food. Order At Once The farmer must not overlook the fact that transportation difficulties are increasing daily. The railroads pre lit erally overwhelmed. They have, there of ore, been comixpUed to rule that fer- ilizers and freight in general must! The Costs of and Skilled Labor Is Rather High NKPOJySET .A\ ALL .

If at any time thia cannot be done, wet down at lean thirty minutea. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
